The Auction House
Sell, buy and post buy orders through the Void Auctioneer in Edgeville. Orders match on their own and settle while you are offline.
The Auction House is one shared book of sell listings and buy orders for the whole world. Post a listing or a buy order once and it keeps working while you are offline: matching orders trade on their own, and what you are owed waits for you to collect.
The Void Auctioneer
The Void Auctioneer stands just south of Edgeville bank (217, 460). Choose Auction to open the Auction House, or Collect to send everything waiting for you to your bank. Ironman accounts cannot use the Auction House.
Selling and buying
- Sell listings. List items from your inventory (noted items are fine) at a total price of at least 1 coin per item that divides evenly by the quantity. A listing lasts 7 days. You can cancel it at any time and the items come back to your inventory, or your bank if your inventory is full.
- Buying from a listing. Pick a listing in the Browse tab and choose how many. You pay with coins from your inventory, and the items go to your inventory, or your bank if it is full.
- Buy orders. Name the item, how many and your price for each, at least 1 coin. The whole amount comes out of your inventory at once and is held in the order until it fills or you close it.
- You cannot list or order coins, untradeable items, the
Herb Sack, the 
Gem pouch or the 
Coal pouch.
How orders match
When a listing's price per item is at or below a buy order's price, the two trade on their own as soon as the second one is posted, and a regular sweep catches any match that was missed. The trade always happens at the listing's price; if your buy order offered more, you get the difference back. Your own listing and your own order never trade with each other.
A seller can also open the Orders tab and sell straight into someone's buy order, at that order's price.
Tax and open slots
- Every sale pays a 5% tax, taken from the seller's coins and rounded down, so sales worth less than 20 coins pay none. The buyer pays the price shown and nothing more.
- You can have 6 listings and buy orders open at once, shared between the two. The Auctioneer sells up to 5 more slots, one at a time: the first costs 250,000 coins from your inventory and each one after that costs double. Slots are permanent and belong to that character.
Collecting
Coins from your sales, items your buy orders bought, refunds and expired listings all wait with the Auctioneer, whether you are online or not. Choose Collect at the Auctioneer, or ask a banker to collect your items from auction, and everything goes to your bank. If your bank is full, the rest waits for next time. When you log in outside the Wilderness, a message lists what is waiting.
Collection also reports what you sold, the quantity and the coins received after tax, at both the Auctioneer and bankers. Keep this separate from a buy order refund: your sale proceeds are already taxed.
The Watches tab tracks up to 20 items: while you are online, you get a chat alert when someone lists one of them.
The Market page
The Market page on the website shows the open listings, recent sales and price history without logging in. You cannot trade from it: to buy or sell, visit the Auctioneer.
